Nānā I Ke Kumu Vol. 2: Look to the Source

"NÄnÄ I Ke Kumu (Look to the Source), a two-volume work first published in 1979, describes Hawaiian beliefs and customs compiled by the Queen Liliâ€˜uokalani Childrenâ€™s Center to better understand and meet the needs of the Hawaiian families they served. Much of the booksâ€™ material was distilled from the Centerâ€™s Hawaiian Culture Study Committeeâ€™s weekly meetings. The authors strove to capture the freshness, the intimacy, and the â€œalivenessâ€ of Hawaiian ideas put into action. Mary Kawena Pukui (1895â€“1986) is the primary source of information on Hawaiian culture not otherwise documented.
Volume One interprets speciï¬c Hawaiian customs, concepts, and terms â€œto clarify distorted beliefs, suggest the rationale behind Hawaiian ritual, and convey some of the poetic imagery of ancient rites and their underlying concepts.â€
Volume Two deals with broader concepts and topics in order to more fully understand the inï¬‚uences of Hawaiian culture on the lives of those served by the Center."
